From d9713679dbd2a6ecb840cd5b65a3ec555c1ec3d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lai Jiangshan Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2012 16:01:03 -0800 Subject: memory_hotplug: fix possible incorrect node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] Currently memory_hotplug only manages the node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], it forgets to manage node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]. This may cause node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] to become incorrect. Example, if a node is empty before online, and we online a memory which is in ZONE_NORMAL. And after online, node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] is correct, but node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] is incorrect, the online code doesn't set the new online node to node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]. The same thing will happen when offlining (the offline code doesn't clear the node from node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] when needed). Some memory managment code depends node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY], so we have to fix up the node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]. We add node_states_check_changes_online() and node_states_check_changes_offline() to detect whether node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] and node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] are changed while hotpluging. Also add @status_change_nid_normal to struct memory_notify, thus the memory hotplug callbacks know whether the node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] are changed. (We can add a @flags and reuse @status_change_nid instead of introducing @status_change_nid_normal, but it will add much more complexity in memory hotplug callback in every subsystem. So introducing @status_change_nid_normal is better and it doesn't change the sematics of @status_change_nid) Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan Cc: David Rientjes Cc: Minchan Kim Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro Cc: Yasuaki Ishimatsu Cc: Rob Landley Cc: Jiang Liu Cc: Kay Sievers Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Mel Gorman Cc: Wen Congyang Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt') diff --git a/Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt b/Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt index 6d0c2519cf47..6e6cbc78f329 100644 --- a/Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt +++ b/Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt @@ -377,15 +377,18 @@ The third argument is passed by pointer of struct memory_notify. struct memory_notify { unsigned long start_pfn; unsigned long nr_pages; + int status_change_nid_normal; int status_change_nid; } start_pfn is start_pfn of online/offline memory. nr_pages is # of pages of online/offline memory. +status_change_nid_normal is set node id when N_NORMAL_MEMORY of nodemask +is (will be) set/clear, if this is -1, then nodemask status is not changed. status_change_nid is set node id when N_HIGH_MEMORY of nodemask is (will be) set/clear.
